Introduction to Catch Basin and Outlet Inspections

Catch Basin and Outlet Inspections can be used to streamline the inspection of catch basins and outlets.

Catch basin and outlet inspections are essential activities for stormwater organizations.  Inspections help organizations make optimal maintenance and asset management decisions, comply with regulations such as NDPES MS4 permits, and follow best practices (BMPS) such as the Six Minimum Control Measures. Digitally recording inspections in the field and making data available across the organization means all staff have access to current information.  Streamlining inspection activities and improving inspection program management supports program compliance and reporting efforts.

The Catch Basin and Outlet Inspections solution delivers a set of capabilities that help conduct routine catch basin and outlet inspections, understand asset conditions, record inspections in the field, and ensure that the entire organization has access to inspection information.
